small disassemble update.

rear girodisc ultra light rotors. 9.0lbs
rear brake caliper with pads 4.6 without pads 3.5

i expected the calipers to be a little more. so i am kinda bummed out. from what i am told AMS/Wilwood kit weighed in at
rotors 8lbs
calipers 2.3lbs . now i dont know if this is with the bracket and pads or not. i need to find out the facts.

AMS does not offer this kit anymore so i have to find a used set somewhere and the seller to weigh them and be honest about the weights.

any of you guys have this kit and mind weighing it for me?

 

sway bars showed up today. i cant believe some of you guys trust these things LOL. i feel like i got them at Wal*Mart. but they are light.

weights

rear 5.2
front 5.7

 

Just a FYI you should use the OEM clutch pedal stop on the QM clutches. Adjust it off of the stop pedal stop. Devin from Boostin will tell you that and my car is setup the same way too.

Figured I'd let ya know.

 

I use the toxic fab pedal stock and works fine also. I bought it before I knew you could use the stock gas pedal one tho.

 

Best of luck man!

i still can't believe how the TC split in half!

 

thank you. i will look into it for sure. what is the reason behind it though? i adjust the clutch from the rod on the upper part of the clutch peddle. but i feel like your talking about something else.

yea it was surely a bad *** split.

 

I like the improvements for 2013. JDM rear would definitely set it off nicely.

What I would like to thank you for are your past 6yrs of loyalty. Dan was one of our first customers on Evom. We started building Evo cop systems early in 06' and he purchased one through Ebay. If you are a vendor/company that sells a good product with good customer service this guy is the most loyal customer you can find. He sets goals and attains them!

Thanks Dan!

 

thanks a lot Craig. that means a lot to me. lets not forget i am loyal to the people who treat me well and back up there product any time an issue rises. granted i have yet to have one but i know you will be there. and in the middle of that the bonus is a great friendship.


UPDATE. its kinda small but its fun. well for my crazy *** that is. spot weld drill bit kit arrived today. i already got 1.6lbs off the car in an hour. i have A LOT more to remove. that is all. ill get a pic up of everything when it is completed. it will be a while though. i have to start pulling the engine bay apart. but with remodeling my house and other projects fun/car time is limited.

i am waiting on someone selling an AMS/Wilwood rear brake kit to weigh them for me to see if its worth swapping over.

catch cans are up for sale
AMS mustache bar is for sale
BBS rims powder coated black for sale.
front and rear sway bars are already sold
Drive shaft sold
turbo kit is still pending.

i dropped the top secret parts off at the CNC shop Saturday. i should have some sort of computer drawing Thursday before they are made. i am so excited for this.

 

Thanks for rooting me on in the vid.. Good luck on your new setup for 2013..

 

no problem and thanks a lot. same to you and ill be right behind you doing the same thing.

 

ahh... dan.. memories at the shootout with me you and nick... ruining your girlfriend by talking about kinky sex stories. i did miss your 9 second pass. im glad you are making some improvements. best of luck.

 

HAHAHA she is still ruined with that stuff. i tried some of it but she wasn't having it HAHAHAHAHA. what a freaking blast of a night that was. ''the shootout not the bedroom'' wait. that was a blast to. ok i stop here.

 

 

ahhh... fun times. im in for more on this rebuild

 

Dan, in the "post your weight reduction" you have the ams rotors listed as 6.4lbs I think.
